Default Upgrade 32-bit to 64-bit


I have 32-bit Office 2013 installed on a Windows 7 Pro system, and wish to replace it with at 64-bit Office 2016. I need to save my Mail, Calendar, and People, Tasks, and Notes.

The software will not let me directly update, so how do I do this?

You should be able to uninstall the 32-bit Office then reinstall the 64-bit version without any disruption to your files or settings. Even so, you should always back up your data.

Default What to backup?

I went to:

Computer>System(C:>Users>MyName>AppData>Local>Micr osoft>Outlook

and found these files:

  • archive-2.pst (2,173,737 KB)
  • Outlook.pst (1,077,081 KB)
  • Outlook.bak (887,857 KB ... 4 months old!)
  • Outlook.log (1,184KB ... also 4 months old)
  • MicrosoftSystemScan_f.... .exe (an app with a long name, 4 months old)
  • ... and some smaller files
  • archive.pst --- tagged Outlook Data File
  • mapisvc.inf --- tagged Setup Infortion
  • and some smaller files plus two folders:
  1. gliding ... empty file folder
  2. RoamCache ... 10 .dat files, all fairly small
QUESTIONS:

What should I backup?
What are no longer needed?
Is storage path the same when going from 2013 to 2016?

Thanks!

Rather than trawling though various folders looking for files to back up (and later remember where to restore them to), you should be using software designed for that purpose (e.g. Microsoft's own 'Backup and Restore'). Such software is typically coded to look for all the right files in all the right places.
